Abstract

Macrocycles constitute a large spectrum of compounds involving both artificial substances and natural products such as crown ethers, cryptands, cyclophanes, porphyrins, and macrolides. These compounds initiated the exciting area of host-guest supramolecular chemistry,'which has developed enormously. There are several strategies for obtaining macrocycles, including cyclization, capping, and condensation. 2 We report here a very ...
